National City - April 2020

It's 6AM when Lena Luthor's phone went off with continuous ringing. It was her damn alarm telling her to wake up for work. She passed out on her white expensive couch and then realized that she's not alone in her big luxurious apartment. She hears a distant grumpy voice. Right next to the couch that Lena was laying on, she found Kara Danvers snoring lightly with an empty tub of ice cream. Lena rolled her eyes at the sleeping kryptonian but formed a small smile afterwards to her best friend. As Lena is slowly waking up, she sees Alex Danvers, Kara's adopted sister, cuddling with Kelly Olsen. Studying them for quite a while, she wonders how it would feel like to have someone like that in her life. Lena had a few flings from boarding school and 3 failed relationships. It seems like she'll never succeed in having a nontoxic loving relationship in the future. After all, she's a Luthor. Luthors don't seem to have it easy and trouble always follows them as if it is a curse to be one.

"Luthor, turn off your damn alarm! It's too early to be awake at this time." Alex warns Lena with a few curse words following up.

Suddenly the kryptonian woke up and looked at her sister with squinting eyes. "Alex. It's too early for you to be a grumpy cat! Oh Rao, why does my head hurt so much? Did I finish this tub of ice cream by myself? How much ailen alcohol did I drink? Where's Nia? Nia!?!?"

"Kara stop shouting! I'm literally right here on the other couch. Who's idea was it to have a girls' night on a Sunday night?" Nia replies as she gets up to grab a water bottle from Lena's fridge.

"KARA!" everyone says at once. Kara quickly covered her head with a pillow near her side.

"Shhh! My daughter is literally sleeping next door. Can you keep it down?!" Sam Arias tried to whisper shout at everyone coming from the bedroom that her daughter Rudy was sleeping in."

"Well fun time is over ladies. It's Monday and we all have jobs to get ready for. Sam, my lovely CFO who I am forever grateful, has meetings to attend. I'm going to take a shower and if you ladies are staying a little longer, please order breakfast! Use my card!" Lena says as she heads to her bedroom and goes straight to the bathroom with robe in tow.

"Hey babe. Can you let go of me now? I want to order breakfast for everyone and find some painkillers for our hangovers." Kelly mumbles into Alex's chest while cuddling very closely.

"Fine. I think we should order some donuts for those two kids right there."

Kara perked out again. "HEY we are not kids! Right Nia?!?"

"As a mother point-of-view, you two do act like kids and seem to have all the traits as well." Sam looked right at Kara and Nia while the couple in the background was giggling.

"Well I sometimes think Kara is more of a puppy than a kid. But donuts do sound good right now. Sooo come on! Wake up ya'll before Lena changes her mind about using her card!" Nia says.

Everyone laughed it off as everyone tried to get up and get ready for the new day.

National City: Lunar Industries

It starts to look like a good day in National City. (Y/N)(L/N) was looking out at the large clear wall windows from their office. One of the benefits of being the future CEO of the new company branch is that their office will always be located on the top of the building. The company building is almost finished, making it one of the tallest in National City with 75 floors. It's a wonderful view, being able to see most of the city and the outskirts of urban areas. Looking at the time, it's 6:25AM and the sun was starting to peak out from the horizon. She was so focused in her thoughts that she began to overthink some things. It's a new beginning for her yet she does not feel confident. (Y/N) picked National City for good reasons but there were other options and more opportunities like Gotham City or Metropolis. National City was the winner after the countless meetings with the company board members.
